does anyone had the issue of hormonal birth control killing their sex drive? what did you do to help bring it back? i have been using the hormonal vaginal rings but its kinda killed my sex drive. Well at least I am assuming its that birth control because around the time I started using it, I have not even self pleasured anymore expect like…3 times in almost half a year. I used to have a high sex drive, enjoying self pleasuring a lot too and now its just….gone. dead. the idea of sex just seems exhausting. could it be the specific birth control I use or could this side effect occur with all hormonal birth controls?
I‘ve been thinking about not using it anymore because my & my partners sex life is dead because I am never in the mood anymore which makes me feel bad because i‘m genuinely attracted to them. but like…just..not there.
my question is;
did anyone have the same experience? how did you fix it? would it be better if i just stopped hormonal birth control and used non-hormonal ones? or is perhaps the pill different/could be different?
